Arbox vs. Cvent Event Management

Fully recommended if you plan to work in a centralized way, adding all the useful aspects for the business management to be adequate, either for sales or advertising areas, or even for logistics and human resources management. Arbox can be exploited in practically all business scenarios.

The breadth of features is such that Cvent Event Management is a strong choice for events of significant scope and complexity, particularly in volume and diversity of programming. The learning curve may be on the steep side for customers with simpler needs, though Cvent Event Management is addressing this by providing more streamlining in their solution suite.

• The reporting system for branding and marketing that Arbox has allows us to work by sales ranges, which allows us to cover different time sectors, and therefore we can work with sales depending on the seasonal format we decide, and that helps us to set different goals.

• I love Cvent Event Management's registration platform specifically because of the flexibility. There are no limits to what Cvent Event Management can do - if you want custom logic, questions or buttons, it's all possible!
• The Exhibitor Portal is an exceptional option for event sponsors. Exhibitors have so much power to manage their profile in the back end, and it's very easy to navigate.
• The Agenda section is a favorite of mine, as the customization options are endless. You can have people select their sessions and view speaker profiles + the planner has endless options for making the agenda thorough.

• The platform helps us to keep our company and business information safe, which prevents us from worrying about situations such as scams. Thanks to factors like this is that we have nothing negative to point out about the Arbox platform. It is excellent and we plan to continue using it in the future to keep growing.

• The "Badges and Certificates" feature can use some work. This is where you build out your name badges, invoices, receipts, etc. The system works but the build feature is difficult to line everything up and navigate. Also, building the receipts/invoices can be difficult to adjust for when things for to multiple pages. It doesn't allow you to pre-program margins so it just continues to the top of the next page without leaving additional space.
• Processing payments for multiple registrations at once after the registrations have already been submitted could also be improved. Currently, the only opportunity you have to submit a payment for a full group is when they register initially. After that phase, if you need to enter a check payment or process a credit card after they've finalized their registration, you have to go into each attendees record to process the payment which can get tedious.
• I would like to see a functionality where we can collect actual signatures during the registration process vs. just having a check box available. For some of the more sensitive materials we need our attendees to approve of, an actual signature feature would be very beneficial.

We are very pleased with the features that Cvent gives us. The ease of use and the immediate support when something does stump us. Cvent provides us with everything that we need to run a successful event. The only reason I did not Rate Cvent as a 10 is the cost

Cvent has a lot of functionality, which can be overwhelming to new users who are not too technically savvy. However, Cvent does a great job of providing tools and support for users to learn and troubleshoot. I also appreciate the work and progress that Cvent has been making in Accessibility.

Cvent does go down pretty frequently. And while it often doesn't impact day to day use usually, if it does go down at the wrong time, you may not be able to access very important event information when you need it. Usually outages do not last very long, but it could still be a very bad situation if this happens at the wrong moment

Cvent also provides training and support resources, including onboarding assistance, live training sessions, and webinars, which help us get the most out of the platform.

Our on-site trainer was very knowledgeable in the product and gave us very important pointers on best practices and how to perform tasks in the simplest manner

It was all self-driven and I had to do a lot of searching around in the community to get answers.

It would have been nice during implementation if we had received more pointers on how to organize our parked report folders, libraries, etc. to avoid the mess we find ourselves in today. If we had known ahead of time the limitations we could have planned better.

Cvent was the only events software that could meet our needs at a price that was palatable. We have been with Cvent for over a decade and I shop around every time we come up for contract renewal just to see what's out there. Cvent hands-down is able to handle so much more complex needs than anything else out there. The value for what you get is exceptional.

We use Cvent for many different clients and events. It's very easy to customize the experience for the event that you need

• For the moment we have not calculated the level of increase in return on investment that has been achieved with the use of Arbox, since the time using it has not been enough to define a stable amount of profit, or in any case, that stands out much in relation to the amount earned before its use by the company, so we hope to update this section in the future.
